Nanging West Road has the shops of top-brand and Department stores lined up. I went straight down the road toward Jing'an Temple after leaving a subway station, and found an old part of town there were tasteful "Laofanzu" built of brick lined up when I looked suddenly at a side road near "Isetan" department store.

Thier facades, old style verandas and lattices were very attractive.

A man was strolling along with his hand in his pocket, a stout woman wearing a nice green dress was walking with a pan and a ladle in her hand, and a young woman who had long hair was washing a foreign car which looked expensive comparatively. The appetizing smell was beginning to fill the air the moment it was getting dark. "What are you having for dinner tonight?"
